POLL- THE WEAKEST LINK: THE ROCKY FRANCHISE - ROUND 1

edited May 2021 in All Encompassing Trip
Once again another 'WEAKEST LINK'. To keep us on the movie path I decided to go with one of my all-time favorite franchises 'ROCKY', so we can now discuss what we think is the BEST MOVIE IN THE ROCKY FRANCHISE. Pick the film that you think is the WEAKEST LINK from the ones provided. I do know there is a Creed III slated to be released in 2022, but we will have to see if that one stands up against these others.

Now to the 1st Round to determine the BEST MOVIE IN THE ROCKY FRANCHISE.

You are going to pick the film that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 2 days I remove the two (2) movie with the most votes. We will then move on to ROUND 2.

The Contenders
Rocky (1976)
Rocky II (1979)
Rocky III (1982)
Rocky IV (1985)
Rocky V (1990)
Rocky Balboa (2006)
Creed (2015)
Creed II (2018)

    Okay now we’re talking! The GOAT movie franchise!

    Some of the middle rounds will be really tough to pick.

    It’s legitimately terrible. A shit stain on the franchise.

    I've never seen Rocky Balboa or Creed II but I can't possibly imagine either is worse than Rocky V.

    Creed II was good, first one was a little better. I also never got around seeing Rocky Balboa although I heard real good things about it. You forgot to add Rocky VII: Adrian's Revenge :wink:

    Rocky Balboa was actually one of the better ones, imo. Easily in the top 3 Rocky movies for me

    Rocky Balboa is a GREAT movie. Should have dared to be less formulaic (as in, remove the boxing part). But it was great. 

    Rocky, Rocky II and Rocky Balboa is a great trilogy. And he should have gotten an Oscar nomination for Rocky Balboa over Creed.

    You are skipping RIII?
    One of the greatest cheesy movies of all time.
    Mr T was awesome 😎
    RIV was pretty darn cheesy/enjoyable as well.

    I had to strategically vote for it (V clearly more deserving) or you'd be eliminating the original in round 1 based on 1 opinion.

    That is certainly a good reason to look at other votes before casting yours.... something I don't usually do 
    The original being voted out on round 1 would be idiotic.

    I would have rioted. I can only hope that the person that voted for it was confused about the rules. Well done Poncier.

    Sly married Brigitte Nielsen and it didn't go so well...let this not be in vain.

    Creed II is tough to lose as well. Probably technically better than IV but obviously doesn’t mean nearly as much to many of us.

    I vote with my heart.

    I don't believe in being tactical.

    That's why IV was going to go down. Some people need to be tactical. Let some people vote with their heart...and then let some people please realize that IV is about to lose and let's put some ever lovin' votes elsewhere!
